I can’t believe it’s almost over!! I wrote Day 363 as if it were day 63. Unreal.

In a recent comment, IGC asked if I have any plans this week.

Nothing you can see immediately, but stuff is happening behind the scenes.

Starting July 1, I’m going to publish an analysis of all the data [...]]]> http://dailyasker.com/Wordpress/2009/06/28/two-days-left/feed/ 0 http://dailyasker.com/Wordpress/2009/06/25/best-apartment-rate-and-some-much-needed-advice/ http://dailyasker.com/Wordpress/2009/06/25/best-apartment-rate-and-some-much-needed-advice/#comments Thu, 25 Jun 2009 19:47:00 +0000 La Roxy http://dailyasker.com/Wordpress/?p=489 June 25. Day 360.

My dad and stepmom are going to France, and they asked me to help them book a hotel or apartment. They’re on a tight budget, and they want a kitchen, so I went for the Craigslist approach.

Rather than query 20 apartment renters separately, I opted for a more efficient approach. I grouped [...]]]> http://dailyasker.com/Wordpress/2009/06/25/best-apartment-rate-and-some-much-needed-advice/feed/ 2 http://dailyasker.com/Wordpress/2009/06/24/improve-my-credit-score/ http://dailyasker.com/Wordpress/2009/06/24/improve-my-credit-score/#comments Wed, 24 Jun 2009 02:02:00 +0000 La Roxy http://dailyasker.com/Wordpress/?p=487 June 23. Day 358.

Today I emailed a reporter in response to a query I read online. Danielle Gorman, who writes for Money Magazine, was interested in finding people in their 20’s and 30’s with questions about their credit scores, and that would be me.

I recently signed up with Credit Karma, which gives you your score [...]]]> http://dailyasker.com/Wordpress/2009/06/24/improve-my-credit-score/feed/ 0 http://dailyasker.com/Wordpress/2009/06/20/teach-me-how-to-take-a-man-down/ http://dailyasker.com/Wordpress/2009/06/20/teach-me-how-to-take-a-man-down/#comments Sat, 20 Jun 2009 02:31:00 +0000 La Roxy http://dailyasker.com/Wordpress/?p=483 June 19. Day 354.

Mr. A and I rang in our fourth year together tonight.

Since I know you’d rather read about asking and negotiations, I’ll spare you the intimate, mushy, high-res blow-by-blow. (Except you. Yeah, you. I’m sure you’d like to read about it.
